Houzz Tour: 1920s Home Sensitively Updated in Phases

No Comments



The phrase “worth the wait” is probably an understatement when it comes to this gorgeous English home, as the owners did have to exercise quite a bit of patience. Pandemic restrictions meant renovations to the tired 1920s property spanned two years and the work had to be divided into three phases.

“The owners saw the house in early 2020,” designer Natalie McHugh of N&K Interiors says. “They were keen to get going on extending it for their family and found us on Houzz when they searched local design and build companies, but COVID delayed everything.”

In September 2020, the team tackled a bathroom and four bedrooms, one of which was turned into a playroom, as well as changing all the windows and got the family in for Christmas. In January, they started the two-story side addition — laundry room, mudroom, powder room, living room and bedroom suite. The remaining work was completed in 2022, resulting in a home that’s both highly functional and full of warmth and character.

House at a Glance
Who lives here: A woman
Location: Seattle
Size: 1,506 square feet (140 square meters); three bedrooms, 1½ bathrooms
Designer: Tammara Stroud
Contractor: Dave Headland of Headland Construction

The entry reveals a view straight back to the kitchen, to the dining room toward the back left and to the living room on the other side of the half wall seen here. The door opens to a coat closet.

“The one thing my client really wanted in here was hooks for her friends to hang their purses up,” Stroud says. This keeps them off her kitchen counters.

“The house was sinking. The foundation needed to be jacked up and the floors needed to be leveled,” Stroud says. This meant replacing all the flooring. The new hardwoods create consistency throughout the first floor, add warmth and suit the home’s age.

Houzz Tour: New Family-Friendly Home Full of Color

House at a Glance
Who lives here: A family of five with two dogs
Location: Houston
Size: Six bedrooms, eight bathrooms
Designers: Lynn Holender Designs (interior design) and Sullivan, Henry, Oggero and Associates (architecture)
Builder: Unika Homes

To understand the homeowners’ style and Holender’s approach, it’s best to start in the parlor. “They both love the work of artist Donald Robertson. This painting that they already owned needed a place of importance,” she says. The wife’s favorite color is blue and the husband’s is green. Holender gave each of them spaces that highlighted these hues.

“My client didn’t like the idea of a formal living room. She preferred the idea of a parlor,” Holender says. She liked that the word had its origins in the French word parler, which means “to speak.”

“This room encourages people to converse, make music and make connections without screens,” the designer says.

Houzz Tour: Mid Mod Split-Level With Colorful Retro Flair

No Comments



After: Arnold had the house re-sided with a highly durable textured aluminum product that, painted an almost black charcoal gray, resembles shou-sugi-ban (Japanese-style charred wood siding). She paired it with a new black standing-seam metal roof.

Arnold also had the overgrown vegetation along the front of the home removed and added a poured-in-place concrete paver pathway.

The exterior architecture of the home remained largely the same, including the windows, some of which have an unusual pivot-slide function.

“They’re really beautiful,” Arnold says. “You’re not really going to get any made like that again.”

Exterior paint: Iron Ore, Sherwin-Williams

Houzz Tour: Polished Rustic Redesign for a Mountain Home

No Comments



In looking for a vacation home in Vermont’s Green Mountains, these parents wanted plenty of space for their three kids to hang out and relax and for their family to gather with friends and relatives. They were aware they’d probably need to renovate whatever they found, so they brought in designer Milford Cushman to assess a few houses they felt had potential. They landed on this timber-frame home with spectacular mountain views of the Worcester Range.

The home had room for expansion in a large space over the garage and in the unfinished lower level. In addition, Cushman bumped out the footprint in a few key places. Other design priorities included bringing more light into the house and creating better connections to the outdoors. The finished home has a polished rustic look and is the perfect place for making lifelong memories.

Houzz Tour: 19th-Century Church Reborn as a Family Home

After: This picture doesn’t align perfectly with the previous one. But this is the view when standing at the far back of the new kitchen, again looking back toward the foyer and choir loft. The arched stained-glass window on the left of the previous picture is the one in the center of this photo, closest to the far wall.

To get reoriented, scroll down to the bottom to see the first-floor layout.

Foster laid out the all-electric kitchen, and the design team, Studio IQL, selected the finishes. The owners wanted the new materials to feel like they would age gracefully with the old ones, they told In With the Old, so they opted for soapstone countertops on half of the island and on the coffee bar, which backs up to the pony wall.

After some trial and error, the original pressed tin ceiling was painted bronze, but in this photo you can see a small section in the center that was left unpainted to show off its original patina.

Houzz Tour: Designer Builds His Family Home Near the Beach

No Comments



Architectural designer Tim Tice had lived in Bethany Beach, Delaware, his whole life, but he and his wife had never quite found their dream home. Recently, they decided to search for a lot that overlooked the water and build from the ground up. They bought land along the Salt Pond, an inland, estuarine body of water located about three-quarters of a mile from the beach. The lot had challenges, including bringing water and sewer services to the site. Tice was also careful to place the home the proper distance from nearby wetlands and to make sure they were protected during the construction process.

As for the house, the couple wanted a home where their children would grow up, but they were also thinking about how it would function for them once the kids flew the nest. As someone born and raised in the area, Tice wanted the design to nod to his favorite “old-school” Bethany Beach cottages while also having a more modern and minimalist design.

Houzz Tour: Scandinavian Modern Meets Horse Country in Minnesota

No Comments



For this new build on a Minnesota horse farm, the design was all about balance between Scandinavian modern and sophisticated country styles. The homeowners are a retired couple who had been inspired by a recent trip to Europe when they met interior designer Emily Pueringer.

“They came back really into Scandinavian modern style,” Pueringer says. “Because this is a horse farm, they were also into an equestrian Ralph Lauren look, meaning plaid patterns and colors like deep green, burgundy and brown. They also told me they loved the feel of Scottish country farmhouses. They wanted sophisticated style, but because this is a farm and they have a large dog, it needed to be practical and durable. At first I thought, ‘How in the world am I going to make all of that work?’”

Houzz Tour: Midcentury Modern Home With a Treehouse Vibe

No Comments



This unique 1960 home in a suburb of San Antonio, Texas, was designed by architect Robert Harris for Bernard Lifshutz, a prominent San Antonio real estate developer, civil rights activist and historic preservationist. The home changed hands several times over the years, and with each renovation, the original midcentury modern features were stripped away a bit more.

The current owners, who are big fans of midcentury design, contacted Jana Valdez of Haven Design and Construction after seeing one of the company’s projects online. They wanted to improve the home’s layout, including making changes to the kitchen and primary suite, and resurrect the home’s midcentury features. “They called us pretty quickly after purchasing the house because they knew immediately that they needed a solution for the primary closets being in the main hallway of the house, and they really wanted a walk-in pantry in the kitchen,” Valdez says.
